Again Dick started forward, but Thompson caught him firmly. "Hold on, freshie!" advised the older boy. "Save it up. Bottle it. You can have all the more fun out of Ripley when your hand is in shape." "His hand is in as good shape as it ever was," retorted Ripley, scornfully. "And he lies when he says he didn't do this."
"Hello, Dickens, kid," called a voice from behind, and an arm rested on his shoulder. "Hello, Ben," replied Prescott, looking around. "I just wanted to say that the senior ball comes off Saturday night of this week. You're going to get one of the few freshman tickets. The ticket allows you to invite one of the girls. Now, remember, freshie, we depend upon you to be there." Dick started to object.
"Wow! whoop!" They began crowding about the confused, blushing freshie, pumping his uninjured left hand. Then some one shouted: "He's all right, from the ground up. He's a Gridley boy! He's only a freshie in years, but he'll get over that. Now, up with Dick Prescott! On your shoulders! Give him the High School yell!"
"Where were you? We thought you were right behind us. What has become of your blonde freshie? We knew something had happened," was the reception which greeted her and her charge. "Do blondes change to brunettes in the twinkling of an eye?" laughed Leila, her blue eyes resting very kindly on Marjorie's pretty companion. "They do not. Miss Walbert deserted me.

"Then, listen, Prescott.

Just because you're going to be promoted to buyer for your department won't get your picture in the Sunday supplement.
"What do you suppose has happened to Miss Towne? She was your freshie catch. It's a wonder she didn't ask you to go to her instead of Marjorie." "Well, she didn't. I have tried to behave like a father to her but she doesn't seem to notice it," Jerry returned humorously. "You see they all gravitate straight to Marjorie.
The vine swayed and gave at every strain, but held. From below came the sound of clapping. Hand under hand he went. The oblong of faint light above receded fast. His stockinged feet gripped the vine tightly. In the group of sophomores the clapping grew into cheers. "Good work, Freshie!" "You're all right!"
Stop that, I say!" cried William Philander in alarm. "Let me alone! Give me back my cane!" "You don't get this cane back, freshie," answered one of the second-year students. "You must give it to me! Why, Miss Margaret DeVoe Marlow gave me that cane last summer, when we were at Newport. I want " "No more cane for you, freshie!" was the cry.
"I think they are a great combination," returned Jerry. "They are our catches. We hooked them when we went freshie fishing. I like the way they look after Anna Towne, too. She is lucky to have them for pals." "Phil is very fond of her, you know," smiled Robin, "and Barbara is a dear. She is a real Southern aristocrat. She has the gentlest, kindest ways and the sweetest voice!
